My experience with mech mods is limited but I know electricity and electronics. My guess would be a short. Have you ever checked to see if the battery is hot also when this happens? If it's intermittent and you know the switch isn't acting any different I would investigate the build for tightness of screws, not touching top cap, make sure the 510 isn't shorting out if it's a hybrid. Sorry if you checked all this. Just trying to help.
stainless top, brass tube, stainless bottom, copper button, copper pins top and bottom here is a photo of it all apart.
no idea, can't get it apart... not sure how to, don't want to ruin it because these are not made anymore.
I figure someone here has this mech and knows the secret to unlocking the magic button! lol
na, and I cleaned the threads again and used a little dialectic grease and the hot button went away.
)
here is the buttonYou will need to disassemble the button and polish it sooner or later. I don't think there is a tube mech in existence that does not need button maintenance (and if there are, your's isn't one of them
Once you do polish all pieces that make contact in the button, hot button will go away and performance will improve... until it needs to be polished again.
I don't know that mech but it does look like you would just turn the button with your thumb to start disassembly. The good thing about a mech is you can't break it
Back in the day I used to do button maintenance weekly to keep it running in peak performance
tried that too.... Maybe I should drop it in wd40 for an hour..? maybe that will loosen something... just strachted the button I'm pissed. once I get it apart hopefully I'll re polished the button. this is annoying as heck!
that center brass does not spin it is pressure fit into the black delrin. just tried all u said nothing. my next attempt is a hole on opposite sides of the delrin so I can stick a pliers in that way and unscrew it... IF it unscrews. this so lame.
Yeah...they put the thing together, it must come apart
I messaged a few dudes on Ebay who have them, got one response that basically said with 50 words..."I don't know" shit you not, ill copy paste that shit lol...
Probably have to contact the company. The one I have is brand new never been used. They are really hard to find. My one that I have for personal use I've never had any problems out of it. I've had it over 3 years. Only thing I know would be to contact the company. My apologies wish I could help more. But I've never had any problems out of the one that's my personal one. Sorry wish I could help more I'll try & find out for you. Thanks
3 years and never cleaned the button...pssh lol
lmfao! BTW thank you for posting that manual! have to work today 1 to 10. going to out off the switch disassemble since I now see how it comes apart. I'm probably going to swap the spring for magnets.
lol. if you only felt the mod in your hand and used it, you'd be sold on it. hits hard feels great easy to use and now that we established how the switch works now it's easy to maintain. it's possible the switch was designed this way for less moving parts, less threading = less vdc drop. who knows but it was a good investment. because there were not many made and I have a low serial#, plus mech is 10/10, like new escept the brass is scuffed from me using the mod.
